Bill "Dolt" Feuerer

Dolt, circa late 1950's. Glen Denny and Jerry Gallwas corrected me in identifying Dolt. I had thought it was Mark Powell because he was known for wearing a similar hat. Apparently this hat style was popular in the late "50's.

Dolt in Camp 4. Note the umbrella clipped to his waist.

Mark Powell and Warren Harding in Camp 4, 1957. Note the similar hat.
